Does red plastidip match Torch Red?

Question for those of you who have used it, how far off in color is the red plastidip from torch red paint?

Did you look at their muscle colors? Flame red maybe. Not a huge loss at $13 plus shipping.

Hello,

did anybody find a spray color (not necessarily Plasti Dip) that matches Torch Red?

Would like to dip the targa roof of my C5.

Thanks in advance!

You can get perfectly matched rattle cans of torch red if you want to paint it.

Well, I want to paint it with spray foil, so that I can peel it of again. (like Plasti Dip) I do not want to paint it permanently.

I hope you get what I mean. I am from Germany and do not know the correct words for that...

Get a wrap for it. Plastidip picks up dirt due to the porosity and you'll probably damage the roof trying to get it off. The only place on a car I was ever happy with Plastidip was the front grill. Even wheels look like **** after a while.
